Looking
Backward and Looking ForwardPerspectives on Social
Science History
Edited by Harvey J. Graff, Leslie Page Moch, and Philip McMichael

Cutting-edge issues and debates in social
science history

Asserting
the need for social science historians to examine their own field,
this wide-ranging volume offers an intellectual history and critical
evaluation of interdisciplinary social science and social science
historiography. The editors present a creative, experimental
mix of topics and genres spanning a range of contemporary thought
in the field-exploring the past, present, and future of social
science history. This book comes at a time when there is great
academic interest in the future of the disciplines and in their
place within the organization of university education.

This book is based on the 25th anniversary conference of the
Social Science History Association, 2000
